18. Across the Healthcare Spectrum

19. HITRUST CSF Certification
The HITRUST CSF certification – when attained in
conjunction with the industry-specific EHNAC
accreditation – demonstrates to business partners
and prospects a commitment to the highest
standards of data privacy and security.
The HITRUST CSF provides a comprehensive HIPAA privacy and security review, including HITECH and other applicable regulatory drivers such as PCI DSS, FTC Red Flags Rules and the FDA, etc.  
The process includes a review of an organization’s risk management program and cyber readiness, and ensures consistency and accuracy of reporting on requirements for covered entities and business associates.
EHNAC is the only organization with the ability to provide both EHNAC accreditation and HITRUST CSF certification.

20. Why choose EHNAC as your HITRUST CSF Assessor?
Using EHNAC for your HITRUST CSF assessment provides consistency between both certification and accreditation programs for HIPAA privacy and security compliance.
Organizations achieving HITRUST certification will have 100% of their privacy and security credited to their EHNAC accreditation.
Organizations that already have EHNAC accreditation will have developed the majority of their HIPAA-related HITRUST CSF privacy and security to apply to that certification.
EHNAC site reviewers are also HITRUST Practitioners, making it easier for organizations to undergo audits.
Obtaining both HITRUST CSF certification and EHNAC accreditation at the same time significantly reduces the time, expense and redundancy needed to prepare documentation and undergo required site visits.
EHNAC is participating on key HITRUST workgroups, advocating strong continuing education and industry requirements regarding privacy and security are communicated and included in future CSF versions.
